Course Description
During this cutting-edge two day online training course, you will deepen your understanding of the Scrum framework and the role of the Scrum Master in it. The Professional Scrum Master (PSM) course is perfect for Scrum Masters and anyone responsible for an effective introduction of the Scrum framework.
You will learn why PSM is the course for effective Scrum Masters and for anyone coaching a team toward increased efficiency and effectiveness. The course includes advanced thinking for servant-leadership and behavioral shifts.
The interesting PSM course is a combination of lectures, interactive team-based exercises, assignments, and discussions, as well as engaging real-world case studies. The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Master I certification exam (PSM I). Your remote instructor, David Spinks, is an expert Scrum trainer who has extensive hands-on experience in practicing Scrum!
The PSM course introduces the principles and (empirical) process theory underpinning the Scrum framework. This is much more than just a set of slides and an instructor. In this course, students work on real-life cases with other classmates together as a team. This course is made up of discussions and hands-on exercises based upon real-life cases.
What you will receive:
- Two days of high-quality interactive instruction from one of the leading Scrum expert, David Spinks;
- Official course materials;
- Two attempts at the PSM I assessment. Following the course, a password will be provided to the trainee to attempt the PSM I assessment (included in the cost of the course) and, if the trainee takes the aforementioned PSM I assessment within 14 days of the class end, and do not achieve the 85% certification score, they will also get 1 additional free re-attempt;
- Professional Scrum Master I certificate signed by the co-creator of Scrum and founder of Scrum.org; Ken Schwaber (upon completion of the course and passing the official Professional Scrum Master I assessment).
